In the past people discovered so much. After they found new ways to obtain food quicker, they were able to think about the world around them. People became very curious about how and why things happen. Their form of entertainment was science and art. People wanted to be "nerds" and know more than others. Back then, "nerds" were popular and people wanted to either be like a famous "nerd" or become more well-known. They didn't have time to have as much fun as we do now.
Nowadays, people don't want to be "nerds" or become smart. Our entertainment is tv, texting and not learning. There are people who want to learn about science but since it's not cool to learn people are afraid to back up their beliefs. We have time to learn but we decide what's more important by our actions and not what we say. We may say learning is more important but we choose not to learn.
In conclusion, scientific discoveries hasn't really decreased. What has increased is other forms of entertainment, which has overshadowed science. Sports and television shows have taken over science's spot as most important.
i dont you should have called them nerds because they are the reason why we live the way we do today !!!
